GREENFIELD is a bilingual French-English nursery and elementary school in Lyon, located in Collonges-au-Mont-d'Or, about 10 minutes from Place Bellecour. It welcomes children from age 2 and offers enrollment for 2026/27. The school provides daily instruction in French and English, with native English-speaking teachers and French teachers working together. The preschool aims to foster a love of learning and the development of the child's personality, while the elementary program prioritizes mastery of the French language and the first elements of mathematics. The bilingual program is organized around half-day blocks in French and English on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. The school day runs roughly 9:00–16:30 in maternelle and 8:30–16:30 in élémentaire, with an on-site cafeteria and before/after-care options. CM1 and CM2 are under contract with the State, guaranteeing the level of schooling required to progress to 6e. The majority of the teaching staff have more than 15 years' experience in delivering the bilingual project, and collaborate across languages to enrich teaching through projects and cross-disciplinary experiences.

1. Pre-register online to request enrollment without waiting for the next entry to avoid being on the waiting list. Greenfield keeps small class sizes, with about 20 children per class, so places are limited. By pre-registering, you help initiate the enrollment process and enable the school to prepare the required enrollment file. Pre-registration is possible year-round for the current year, subject to available places.
2. All year round, you can submit a registration request for the current year, subject to available places. After you submit the request, you will receive the complete enrollment file to review and complete. This process allows you to start enrollment at any time rather than waiting for a fixed intake date. The online pre-registration option is designed to facilitate timely processing.
